Games for S3

What games are working properly on s3? other games are having graphic problems.

If you are into first person shooters, Dead Trigger by Madfinger games is pretty sick. Gears & Guts by Glu Mobile is working. I have a bunch other games but the 2 listed above have a big file size and are pretty graphically intense. Smooth gameplay w/o any problems. I am also running Blazer 1.7 w/ Apex Launcher.

Have you tried amazing spiderman or Samurai II: Vengeance, having a graphics issues please let me know what could be a problem. I am using stock rom and the phone is not rooted.

Dead Trigger is insanely sick. It has amazing lighting visuals and is only about 150MB of storage. Been playing it non-stop. I also am a big fan of Asphalt games, however, the new 1$ asphalt game runs HORRIBLE on the S3. I am also hearing it runs horrible on other top end devices. The game has a major framerate issue.

sounds good, but i'd like to know why a game wants access to my phone calls/history..
i normally don't bother with free games or apps as their either invested with ads or want access to private data.

I found this cool parkour type addictive game, I enjoy it really much, but... is it just my phone or it lags? I'm running the latest version of 'Custom stock rom'. Can somebody try it?

I have the mini note 2 rom too, but sometimes it slows down, really slows down a lot. Like it's lagging, like the time is slow.

yeh i have "lags" as well in certain parts, but i believe its a feature , slowmotion

i had the same thing "Lag" sometimes, and its not a feature,
(You can actually buy this gadget that slows down time)
I played this on my S2 and experienced lags, on my Nexus 7, it runs fast and good...

Same here
Its the same on my S2 I think its the game no lags its in the part of the game its has to slow down but its stupid it makes the game to look like it lags

It's so annoying, you can't enjoy the game to the max with the 'lags' in it.

I've recently started playing this game and been annoyed by how it lags. I'm on a level where there's my guy, a friend and the bad guy and it lags ALL the time. Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Awesome Game
I really like the concept, as for lags it get gets harder on new levels

With the new update just change graphic sitting for less lag.

I have Neat Rom 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and i have lags also... the game graphics aren't anything so special that justifies this.... i believe that the game wasn't well programmed...

Are you having similar problems with other games? If no, then you're probably right. :cyclops:
If the lag is present for other games, it is possible that it's ROM or kernel related (governor, mali driver and etc).

Nop, Only this game. I have other game that doesn't feel so smooth, but it's justified, because it has heavy graphics: Real Racing 3. And even that game i can play it well.
Besides that, i can run all other games with no problem at all in my GS2. I can play NFS Most Wanted without problems, for example.

LG Optimus G Pro Gaming!

I think its time we start a dedicated gaming thread. Here we can discuss new game releases and how the run on OGP. Also, any issues with certain games.

Maybe you should've started?
Here, I'll go first.
Modern Combat 4 - runs great, no issues. Smooth framerate, looks great. (Note: Originally, I got MC4 free with my MOGA Pocket; that version crashed on startup. Bought from the Play store for 99 cents on sale)
CSR Racing - Looks great, has stuttering problems at the start of a race. Don't have the issue on my Note II, so could be a Snapdragon issue or 1080p issue.
Dungeon Hunter 4 - No issues. Runs smooth, decent graphics, but simple character models.
Asphalt 8 - Max gfx, no perf issues. Smooth and beautiful. Typically of Gameloft, the environment textures and reflections are low quality vs the iOS release.
EPOCH - Unity engine. Great framerate, smooth gameplay. Textures and models are a little simplistic so the GPU load is light. No issues.
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - Re-release of Galaxy on Fire THD for all devices. Looks better than the Tegra version at max gfx setting, plays better too. No issues that I can find.

Dead trigger. Smooth on highest grafics. No issues.
Real Racing 3 highest grafics smooth no issues.
The Dark knight rises. Runs smooth on highest details. No issues.
Horn. Runs smooth on highest details. No issues.
Shadow Gun. Runs smooth on highest grafics. No issues.
Shadow Gun Deadzone. Runs smooth on highest details.
So that's my 2 cents in G Pro gaming. And yes I know I love high detail looking games. All of them are pretty sharp looking games with high details.

Real Racing 3 - plays very smooth no hiccups
Reaper: Tale of a pale swordsman - look very good, good long campaign, beautiful colors
Kingdom Rush Frontiers - Runs very smooth, very nice graphics, no stutters in mid of large battles (this game causes huge battery drain, initially CPU usage and CPU foreground time were same, maybe thy fix something in next update, I know games cause lot of battery drain but its very big to notice as compared to other games, just my 2 cents)

It's surprising to read that so many people can run games at 100% on this device. My experience with it is slightly disappointing. I've put in days running every ROM I can, testing performance per game with thermal throttling off and CPU running at maximum. In my experience:
Real Racing 3: Runs good while playing, but has some FPS stutter during race intros where the maximum amount of cars are shown on screen. Of course its terribly harsh on the eyes due to the resolution not running at a native 1920x1080. I found a workaround for this, but the game runs at a hardly playable framerate using the workaround. That's to be expected seeing as how the company was not expecting people to play the game at 1920x1080 on their android phones.
Blitz Brigade: Using optimal "not performance" graphics settings, some fps drops in outer areas of maps during online play, especially malta ruins.
Asphalt 8: Runs mostly smooth, but minor fps hiccups throughout. It can be especially noticeable in intros when the map name and map itself is panning. Paying close attention, those same hiccups happen during races, but it's hard to tell due to how fast the game is and the shaking camera. Turning CPU governer to performance (full speed) helps fix these tiny hiccups. They're not game breaking but they are there.
Crazy Taxi: Seems to run at a flat low FPS, not higher or lower. Not sure why. Feels like it runs at around 28fps the entire time.
Need for Speed Most Wanted: Fluid FPS inter-dispersed with game slowdowns.
Sine Mora: Had some bad FPS issues on release, but they've been mostly worked out in updates. There are still some FPS drops here and there.
The Room: Small FPS drops when spinning the camera at a high speed.
Modern Combat 4: Generally smooth but doesn't run at native resolution.
Most other games have run flawless for me, including: Asphalt 7, Dead Space, GTA 3 and GTA Vice City, Minecraft, Quake 14a, Quake 24a, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Shadowgun: Deadzone, Dungeon Hunter 4, and Trackmania.
Not sure if I'm just picky with my gaming, my phone has hardware problems, or I'm expecting to much from a mobile device.

I just love Street Fighter IV HD running smooth on my OG Pro!

My favs:
Angry Birds Star Wars 2 - run perfectly and fun.
Asphalt 8 - runs fluid on high and I believe in full native HD.
GTA Vice City - Lots of fun and runs perfect at highest resolution and 100% draw distance.
Minecraft PE - doesn't require to run at full. But looks so nice on our OG Pros.
Shadowgun: Dead zone - multiplayer epicness and runs perfectly.
Star Command - bought this on Humble Bundle for a dollar. Its top down RPG style game and just a blast to play.
Zombie Gunship - have been waiting for this one to hit the Android market for almost 2 years. A bit of lag when zombies explode, but other then that is runs great and loads of fun.

I bought it on my Nexus S and it showed up as incompatible on my OGP, so I sideloaded an APK from a public site. Since I have a license for it, I'm not sure if the APK was cracked or not.

All games should work on the OGP. If it shows up as incompatible, there's an xposed mod that fixes the problem. Just install xposed and check the modules section.

I agree, most of the aforementioned games don't run so smooth. I'm on stock unrooted e988 taiwanese. Core management on.

i found a graphic error on Galaxy on Fire 2 HD. everytime i use cloaking or encounter a ship that uses cloaking, the screen goes black. leaving the sensors/buttons on the screen. i am using stock ROM

Dead Space, NFS Shift, Riptide2, NOVA3!
Flashed E988 v5 rom on my F240L, above games run more smoother than on stock rom!

Core management reduces the CPU to 1.1GHz and limits it to 2 out of the 4 cores.

is this really whats happening if i enable core management?
i thought it would just disable cores if they are not needed.. then uses all 4 cores under heavy use..

Yep yep. Less cores = less battery drain. If you're gonna do some gaming, turn it off. Much better performance that way.

I dont think this is true.
I've turned on Quad Core Control, but all cores can still run when needed. System Monitor can shows this.
CPU Spy indicates that my phone still able to run at 1,7GHz, but mostly it runs at 1,1GHz.
Asphalt 8? it runs flawless in my g-pro.

running cm11.
asphalt 8 and iron man 3 both run very smooth. CSR racing has issues have to clear data to get it to load but then runs fine.

[Q] about this phone

hi boys
pleasse tell me
that now this phone can help me for run new games

There a so many new games out there that can be played in htc DZ/G2.
But that also depend upon what rom you use.
I would prefer gb roms to play games better than ics roms...

I didn't tried that much new high end graphic games lately, but I play candy crush while listening music with poweramp. And it run smooth for now.
I'm playing with plants vs zombies 2, a bit laggy in the ''street'' but in the game it runs great.
GTA 3 also run, but isn't that smooth, it's payable.

I mainly play casual pass the time games like Dots, Bejeweled and things of that nature, and they run perfectly smooth, with the once in a while quick little stutter, I can say that about all of the vast amount of roms I've run. Gingerbread roms are the smoothest when it comes to gameplay though

Which rom are you using for those games?
I'm using miui by strawmetal, is like miui on steroids. I think ilwt has the best gaming performance which is the same kernel used in miui strawmetal.
To achieve better gameplay use chainfire3d (there is a risk of soft bricking) and use seeder for lag reducing .
Plants vs zombies 2 has lag when a lot of zombies, but it is logical since the games requirements are 1 gb ram. I play subway surfers pretty good with minimal lag and temple run.
As others pointed use gb roms for gaming

I'm running slimbean 6.2
Subway surfer has no lag at all. But I can feel the difference when I play it on my gf s4.
Actually, what is really bugging me, is the phone takes sooooo much time to switch app to an other.
I,e : if I,m browsing, and see something and I what to take a fast picture, it will took easy 30 seconds.
I'm sure that I never had this issue before I tried to reinstall. same problem.
With seeder is better but still takes times.
Pureperformance X gives me the best results, but it wont last long before the multitasking-lag come back. Looks like if android isn't able to kill app fast.

If you are searching phone for games, Desire Z is not a good option.

Is CM11 any good for gaming?

Hello there. I am a heavy Arcane Legends player which is a very demanding mmorpg game. Gaming on jb was a failure, it didn't lag only if the game was 2D, at least that was my experience with it. So i switched back to gb.
Gb is fine for the most part but Arcane Legends uses up a lot of memory so after playing a while it can get very laggy and that's when i have to restart the app. Also chainfire 3D helped me get better performance.
My question is: Is it worth upgrading from gb to cm11 for gaming performance? I don't care about ui changes or other functionalities, i want to know if its worth upgrading for gaming alone.

Don't know bout cm 11 but AOSP 4.4 has really great gaming performance.
San Andreas was really smooth and playable so i believe this game might also have better performance as compared to gb.
